Fund Description: WisdomTree Equity Income Fund, formerly WisdomTree High-Yielding Equity Fund, is an exchange-traded index fund or Index ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the WisdomTree Trust, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The WisdomTree Equity Income Fund seeks investment results that closely correspond to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree Equity Income Index, formerly the WisdomTree High-Yielding Equity Index. INDEX DESCRIPTION: The WisdomTree Equity Income Index is a fundamentally weighted index that measures the performance of companies with high dividend yields selected from the WisdomTree Dividend Index. At the Index measurement date, companies within the WisdomTree Dividend Index with market capitalizations of at least $200 million and average daily trading volumes of at least $200,000 for the prior three months are ranked by dividend yield. Securities ranking in the highest 30% by dividend yield are selected for inclusion. The Index is dividend weighted annually to reflect the proportionate share of the aggregate cash dividends each component company is projected to pay in the coming year, based on the most recently declared dividend per share. The following sectors are included in the Index: consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, information technology, materials, telecommunication services, and utilities. A sector is comprised of multiple industries. For example, the energy sector is comprised of companies in, among others, the natural gas, oil and petroleum industries. FUND STRATEGY: The Fund employs a passive management or indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Index. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole. Under normal circumstances, at least 95% of the Fund’s total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Index and investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of such component securities. FUND MANAGEMENT: WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. serves as investment adviser to the Fund. Mellon Capital Management Corp. serves as sub-adviser to the Fund.
